Summary

We have a great RV Love Story to share in Episode 434 of the RV Podcast about a couple of senior snowbirds, both widowed, who went from solo travelers to soul mates. Plus we have lots of RV News, travel planning tips and RV Lifestyle questions. For the video version, click the player below to watch. For an audio version, it's available on iTunes and all the podcast apps or through the audio player below. An RV Love Story - Amy and Thomas Amy and Thomas Thomas is a widower who lost his wife of 52 years in December 2019. Amy is a widow who lost her husband of 18 years in August 2018. Both met at the Blueway RV Village in Ft. Myers, FL (formerly called Shady Acres) in January 2021. Amy was outside her rig one night when Thomas walked by, walking his dog. They talked. He came back the next day, also walking his dog, they talked some more, and the rest- is history! They married on May 26, 2022 - their wedding cake was decorated with an RV. And they bought an RV together in September 2022 and are snowbirds, currently in the very RV park where they met, as we speak. Neither was looking for love. Both say to all the other solo travelers out there, be open to meeting new people. You never know where it may lead. Need more ways to bring romance to your life?

New Travel Tech - The Best RV Trip Planning Tool We've Found The New Travel Tech segment of the RV Podcast, drawn from the pages of NewTravelTech.com, our sister blog celebrating the many ways technology enhances the travel experience. This is the time of year many are planning RV trips for the coming season and the tech tool we use and rely on is called the RV Life Trip Wizard. Built specifically for RVers, this visual RV trip planner has the most advanced features available. It uses distance rings to show exactly where you’ll be at the end of your driving day to choose the ideal stop. It customizes RV-safe routes to the height & weight of your RV. Avoid low clearances, steep grades, weight limits, and propane restrictions. To get it, you have to join RV Life Pro, where you will find it is one of the tools that make it easy for you to discover, plan, go, and share your RV trips. The 4-in-1 membership includes: RV LIFE Trip Wizard - This is our favorite planning tool. RV LIFE Campground Reviews. We feel this really lets us check out the places we stay ahead of time so there are no surprises. RV LIFE App (RV-Safe GPS). It makes sure you’re not taking unfriendly RV roads. RV LIFE Maintenance Tracker. It's a great resource for making sure your RV is in tip-top travel ready shape. Just to be clear, you get all four of these tools in one with an RV LIFE Pro membership for what we think is a very reasonable price. I think most users would agree the price is actually cheap, considering the value it brings. RV Life Pro only costs $59 per year if you purchase the annual membership (less than $5 per month). The annual membership also comes with a 7-day free trial. The monthly subscription is $19.99 per month and does not include a 7-day free trial. BUT NOTE the discount code below! In all honesty, just one of these tools is easily worth $5 per month, let alone all four combined. That is why I don’t hesitate to say that RV LIFE Pro is worth the money for most RVers. And this is important – if you want to enjoy using all the RV Life Pro tools just add this coupon code: RVLIFESTYLE which gives you 25% off the price! If you already use RV Life Pro – your cost is already low and locked in. Want more RV trip planning ideas?
